"Ah. This..." He tucked his planner back into a designated pocket within his bag. "I'm just taking soil samples, that's all."

It wasn't far from the truth, that was something he's had to do from time to time. But he was also planting something in the sands of the coast but the other really didn't need to know that. It was one of his less dramatic projects but still one of his nontheless.

"It's part of my job, you see. I'm a biologist." If he was going to keep bumping into Zora like this, he might as well cover his ass for the long run. This wasn't even a lie anyways.

It was obvious to Zora that he hadn't expected anyone to be asking him about anything he had been working on. And the sight of him by the water was ..interesting enough to inspire a couple of questions.

They look at him, they look at the planner and the bag.

"I mean.. i guess in whatever you're working on here. You seem uh pretty focused on it. "

They thought about focusing on the photography as that was something they did have more information about. But they wanted to at least see how he responded to this first line of question.

They could pivot to the known interest if that was necessary.

What type of villain are you?

[ 🐚 ] No Moral Compass

You are cold, analytical, and you strive to be as objective as a person of flesh and blood can be. Either don't understand the concepts of good and evil, or you understand it perfectly and think it's a load of bull. Some may call you selfish, some may call you unfeeling, but you're just doing what you believe will yield the best results, plain and simple. Why bother with petty ideals of right or wrong when you can do what will actively help those you give a fuck about? Your goals may be selfish or noble or anything in between, but you will not let anyone make you feel like garbage for going after them. You couldn't care less about what people brand you as. You just care about getting shit done by any means necessary.

The 'yes or no' game.

Send my muse "❓+" alongside harsh hitting questions, scenarios, anything question-related really, but they can only answer with "yes" or "no". Nothing more, nothing less.

[shelledsnientist]

hey. sorry for calling you "my subject" at your family dinner. i'm not sure if i meant it in a princess way or a scientist way but either way it was definitely a sex thing for me

[shelledsnientist]

Send brutal anons to my muse(s) criticizing/negating their relationships in canon or with someone they interact with on this blog!!!

Be a Disney villain! Go wild! They can defend themselves or agree, but tear into them! Please specify muse(s) for multimuses.

truth serum ! What is something you really want but suspect you might not get?

send “ Truth Serum + [ a question ] ” , and my muse has to answer truthfully.

Call it overconfidence or simply entitlement but Triton does believe that he could get anything he wanted if he simply put his mind to it. Even if it takes failure after failure to get there.

This, however, did not apply to relationships.

"There's someone I want to talk to again...on good terms, preferably. But that's not going to happen any time soon...."

"I mean...I'll have to kill him anyways."

💜Ophelia points at Shelley and proclaims: "Smelly Shelley!" <-she's just bullying him at this point

Give my muse a nickname!

"I am not--"

He catches himself before he could really raise his voice. Such a juvenile insult was not worth his time or rage.

He breathes in. Breathes out.

"Name calling. Really? " he spits out. "What are you? Five?"

He wasn't even smelly!

....was he?

Make it cute, embarrassing, or annoying- anything goes!

swiped this from @mechahero

"...."

Triton squints (as much as his stupid lil eyes allow squinting).

"Why is the icon for submissiveness a petri dish? What's so submissive about microbiology?"

[shelledsnientist]

Send "You look like you...", complete the sentence, and see how my muse reacts to being told that!

( Ex: "You look like you bite people." or "You look like you get mad when someone doesn't say "bless you" when you sneeze." )

"Maybe...if we met under different circumstances..."

He does think Ed is an alright guy so far but as it is now, a positive relationship between them didn't seem very likely. Or so he thinks?

[shelledsnientist]

"No. I don't see why I should believe you."

Really, why would he?

Most hostages, from what he knew, would say anything for a chance to escape. He probably would do the same if he was the one being taken away to god-knows-where by strange individuals.

So far he had no reason to trust this guy but that went the same - or perhaps even more so - for Ed too, didn't it?

"Mutually beneficial...and how would you benefit from this ?" He paused in thought for a moment. From the way the other was offering cooperation (???), he was starting to get the impression that there was some sort of animosity between the Dillingers. Or at least, the son towards the father.

"Even if we somehow bankrupt your father, we would still be returning you to him, you know that right?"

Of course, there was always the option of withholding their end of the bargain. But that was something he'd have to talk out with Lanice.

Ed shrugged, rolling over what to say. It's going to be a painful reunion so might as well make it worth it was likely going to get him labeled as a flight risk, or even more of one than they already suspected, and Ed didn't want that, especially when he hadn't decided if he's a flight risk yet.

He turned to watch what glimmer of the coastline he could through the coverings. "Would you believe any answer to that question?" he asked. "Let's just say... I don't see why this situation can't be mutually beneficial."
